Woods Of Ypres - Lightning & Snow lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a flash of lightning, Followed by snow In a moment of silence (for myself), After a shock to the soul With a look of disbelief, Alone and numb to the cold I knew the last moment had pa**ed, Before enduring years of sorrow [Pre-Chorus] There was a crack of electric light, coming down from a darkened sky My dreams flashed before my eyes, as they were erased from my life [Chorus] There was a flash of lightning, Followed by snow Twas just the moment of change, Before years of sorrow The shock and awe, the fright and woe I only had one life to live, and life said no [Bridge] The loss of love, has left me hollow All bliss twists into pain, Where there was joy, years of grief have followed! [Verse 2] There was a flash of lightning, followed by snow It struck my heart, only once...which made me want it more The emptiness it left in me, will always need to be filled For it will be there all the time, from now on, forever more [Pre-Chorus] There was a crack of electric light, coming down from a darkened sky My dreams flashed before my eyes, AS they were erased from my life [Chorus] There was a flash of lightning, Followed by snow Twas just a moment of pain, Before years of sorrow The shock and awe, the fright and woe And when I asked for a second chance, life said no
